MARREED By PROXY.

Anarchist Spies and Miss Van Zandt-A
One sided Affair.
The announcement was made at
Chicago on the LIST inst. that August
Spies and Miss Nina Van Zandt have
been married by proxy, the groom
having been represented by his brother.
A suburban Justice of the peace Off
ciated. When Sheriff Matson, about
two weeks ago, issued the
order to the officials Of the
county jail not to admit Miss
Van Zsndt to see Spies, it was thought
that the matter was settled, but it
now appears that neither of the
couple abandoned their purpose. The
law about marrying by letter and
marriage by proxy was looked up,
but nothing was found except in re-
gard to q marriage by proxy. This
was finally decided upon, and Justice
Englehardt, in the town of Jefferson,
whose name figured in the papers dur
ing the last months of the past year
as denouncing the verdict of the
Anarchist trial in public speeches,
was consulted. He gave it as his
opinion that g. marriage by proxy
would be binding in law, if the proxy
was made out in due legalf form. This
he engaged to do, and the ceremony
was performed. Henry Spies answered
to the name of August Vincent Theo.

The iron work of the cars has all been

tanning the number. They report it

THE Japanese are undoubtedly the
most progressive people of Asia. The
position of this country, lying off the
coast of the continent, is very much
the same as that Of the British Isles as
regards Europe. They are adopting
European ideas and methods as no
other people in Asia have ever done.
But they are now proposing to adopt
European dress, and the London
Times strongly, yet somewhat comic
ally, protests against this, as their
own dress is so much more convenient
and becoming. This is q poor showing
for Europeans if the Times is correct.

come some of the absurdities of fash

FROM one district of California 3d.
$50 pounds of raisins were shipped in
1884. The shipments from the same
region were over dozen times greater
in 1885, or 1.1O2, 90 pounds; ana it
is known that there was a big Jump
over these figures in 1886, although
the exact amount sent out has not
yet been made public. And the i'm
provement in quality has been about
as great as in quantity. Boxes of the
best Spanish and California raisins
were placed side by side at the Chicago
citrus fair, and experts, it is said, were
unable to tell which was the Spanish
fruit. Florida, in a few years, will
probably render the United States in
dependent of Europe for oranges; and
California promises to do us a similar
service in raisins in the near future.

IT is very evident that the cattle
ranch business has been overdone, es-
pecially in those speculative enter
prises which did their principal bust
ness on paper and in the banking
houses OF the CAST. Vast sums OF
money have been lost in Europe, as
we'll as in this country, in these infat-
ed schemes. We know of one firm
that has charged off to profit
and loss account upwards of $1,000
600 sunk IN q most promising cattle
ranch investment. Of course, there
is money in legitimate cattie-raising,
but the speculative enterprises stimu-
lated by q few successes have proved
the ruin of many, and entailed serious
losses upon etill greater number.

Missouri, Kentucky and Illinois Stirred
Up by a Slight Shake.
Dispatches from St. Louis report q
peroeptible shock of earthquake on
the morning of the 9th. Louisville,
KY, and New Albany and Jefferson,
Ind, were also shaken. The earth
quake was DISTINCTLY felt Springfield,
Centralia, Hillsboro and number of
other places in Southern and Central
Illinois. The vibrations were also ob-
served at Terre Haute and Evans
vile, Ind. The seismoscope in the
Polytechnic Institute at Terre Haute
recorded the time of the shock as
4:15:O6. President Mendenhall, of the
institute, estimates the duration of
the shock as ten seconds. He places
the intensity at from two to three on

quake an intensity of six.
